Traffic accident statistics point out that the most dangerous fault of drivers is the fact of not adapting the speed of their vehicles. Many of them often do not realize the fact that it is necessary to comply with the allowed speed not only for their own travel safety but also because of other road users ability to respond to them. In this case the driving speed is an essential assumption to handle a situation not only in a populated urban area but also on the open road. The quality and condition of the road surface has a signifi cant impact on the driving safety. Drivers are oft en unaware of the fact that with increasing speed also their kinetic energy increases, which is converted into braking heat then and the braking distance of their vehicles gets longer. The text provides some model situations of these effects.
